An Invitation to join in Baikaryu– Goeika

Won’t you come to sing Goeika, and experience the mind of

peace, the mind of a smile, and the flower of the mind?

The world changes, but the true teaching of Shakyamuni

Buddha are eternal. People are wishing for happiness at all times.

The melodies of Goeika and Wasan were born from the climate

and life in Japan. Their melodies ease our heats, like seeing the

gentle flowing of the river. They also give us inspiration and

joy, made from these honest feelings. All over the world, like-

minded practitioners come together, easing suffering and

distress, encouraging each other, joyfully leaning Baikaryu-.

Baikaryu– ’s Three Vows

We will live according to Buddha’s teachings

through Baikaryu- Eisanka.

We will live in harmony with others through

Baikaryu- Eisanka.

We will create a cheerful world around us through

Baikaryu- Eisanka.

Kaikyō ge Sutra-Opening Verse

Mu jo- jin jin mi myo ho-

Hyaku sen man go- nan so- gu-

Ga kon ken mon toku ju ji Gan ge nyo rai shin jitsu gi

The unsurpassed, profound, and wondrous dharma is rarely

met with, even in a hundred, thousand, million kalpas.

Now we can see and hear it, accept and maintain it.

May we unfold the meaning of the Tathagata’s truth.
